I don’t think that article is correct.
I’ve never understood subsequent realization to be integral to the dissonance itself, which already exists regardless of one’s awareness of it.
It’s like insisting that you are not depressed unless you “realize” you’re depressed.
unless by “realization” that article simply mean experiencing conflicting emotions, which is the cognitive dissonance itself.
requiring “realization” of a feeling as a prerequisite to that feeling existing doesn’t check out.
I was hoping for a much higher quality, but they’re still kind of funny
Sure thing!
holding two conflicting beliefs at the same time.
like you don’t believe in the death penalty, but you read about a child molester and want them to die.
a lot of aggregators just throw shit together, but 1440 works pretty hard on making sure their articles are simply reporting significant news from reliable sources.
as far as a collection of news, I get a lot of it from 1440, which compiles current, objective news stories reliably.
I get ideas from the posts here, but I’m pretty careful about checking multiple sources before accepting any of the articles people post here as legitimate information.
yup, egg soboro.
woo that toast you make sounds goood
it sounds like you were protecting the Nazi-punchers rather than the Nazis.
That’s the right call!
just like violence isn’t applicable everywhere, non-violence isn’t applicable everywhere.
back in the day, nazis used to get violently run out of shows because they tried to infiltrate the punk movement and punks said “Nazi punks fuck off” and then punched them until they left.
sounds great, except I don’t know what celery salt is.
what is that?
oh, literally celery seeds ground up with salt.
I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with it before. I’m going to have to give that a try, that’s definitely a good combination.
egg soboro right now: crack an egg in a pan, constant stirring, 8 minutes or so at the lowest heat, super fluffy, flavored textured egg curds.
psychopomps?
“Psychopomps (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός, psychopompós, literally meaning the ‘guide of souls’)[1] are creatures, spirits, angels, demons, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife.[2]”
cool, thanks.
If you like psychopomps, you should play Spiritfarer, you get to be a psychopomp. and it’s comforting.
not at all your imagination, most of the stuff you listed is established fact.
A lot of people don’t believe in “conspiracies” unless they already “know” that the conspiracy is true, in which case they believe it was never a “conspiracy”, even though something like 9/11 was obviously a secret plan that a small group plotted to cause harm.
I block that kind of posting, a lot of them are bots.
clients like jerboa can block self-announced bots, which takes care of a lot of them, and if you see the same username posting six posts of questionable quality without any context, you can block them too.
Nice, I hadn’t heard of this and will definitely give it a listen.
Intelligence Matters is another great podcast hosted by a former CIA director interviews a bunch of current and retired Intelligence officials about politics.
try a bunch of stuff, find what you like, pursue that.
repeat as needed.
I vote bygones, leaving him be, because of the violence and what sounds like delusion.
If he really does believe you physically abused him to that extent, I can’t see how the two of you are going to have a healthy relationship until that somehow gets resolved.
It’s a shame he couldn’t have had a relatively less abusive childhood like you, but that doesn’t make his problems or rehabilitation your responsibility.
If you do feel the compulsion to reach out, make sure to keep that attempted reconciliation and your everyday life completely separate.
